is ra the rugged man right about the industry? (part 2)

Can’t comment because I’m not willing to hear out his rationale but Kendrick is a Top 3 lyricist, so maybe RA is onto something after all

white rapper on vlad tv

Does he actually say who he thinks is top 5? Only person I believe when they downplay Kendrick is Lupe

cant lie man i wasn't sure how i felt about kendrick til ra the rugged man finally dropped his take

RA ain't even top 5000

Last week, we published a story about an infamous interview with Notorious B.I.G. that has been circulating through the rap-oriented byways of the internet since back when Biggie was still alive. In the interview, the legendary MC purportedly rated dozens of contemporary rappers and producers on a scale of 1-10.

R.A. the Rugged Man, a onetime Biggie collaborator who was rudely dismissed in the interview, told SPIN that Biggie was a close personal friend of his, and that he’s sure the quote about him was fabricated. “I’m not sure about the rest of the interview but I can say for sure what was said about me was not real,” R.A. wrote in an email.

After we published the story, we heard from a Peace reader named Conrad Braun who’d held onto his copy of Issue 19, the one with the Biggie interview. “I’d almost forgotten about the magazine but knew it was saved in a box,” Braun wrote.

If you’re willing to accept that the journalists at Peace wouldn’t be so brazen as to fabricate quotes wholesale from one of the most famous rappers in the world, it looks like the interview is real after all.
